Things you need to know.You want to succeed. We know that. Why else would you go to college? But what exactly is the success you’re after? Is it a high-paying job? A fulfilling job? A job that does both? Do you aspire to be an entrepreneur? A problem solver? An innovator? An industry leader? Or will you measure your success by how well you provide for your family?

Those are all worthy and realistic goals. But you should know that no matter what personal success you’re looking forward to, the keys to reaching it are the same for everyone: knowledge, skills, experience, passion. These keys are what make personal achievement possible. They’re also why you should come to Clark State.

Here, as you’ll see throughout this guide, we’ll not only expose you to these four vital areas, we’ll immerse you in them. Every student who graduates from here is sure to have the background, the qualifications and the confidence to succeed - however you define it.
